Grow-With-Me: a Tot Toppers class
If you like knitting for babies and children, you may be aware that tots have a tendency to outgrow things. Its pretty frustrating. You spend all that time and invest in a quality yarn and then there are only a few months of wearability. What if there was something you could do about this? Some way you could manage to eek some more time out?
- I didn’t knit this to be a belly shirt…
As a mom of four growers, I have been studying this concept for a few years now. I’ve developed a course to share what I have learned. I’ve taught the class a couple of times already and I promise, the minimal math included is not scary at all. I’ve got tips you can use both while you’re knitting the garment initially and also after the fact.
Your next opportunity to take the course is in just a few weeks at Loop in Philadelphia, PA. If you’re anywhere nearby, you can read both the meet ‘n greet and class details on the Loop Blog. I am looking forward to meeting some new Philly knitters who are ready to make some inroads against The Growing Problem! As a side note, Loop just released a new yarn and I adore the color palette. I didn’t even have the self control to wait until I could see it in person and had to order a few hanks right away.
If you’re more in my neck of the woods–I’ll also be teaching Grow With Me in Nashville at Stitches South next April. I have had a booth at many Stitches events in the past but this will be my first time teaching a class there.
If this subject matter interests you but my course locations don’t work for you (at least not yet!), my new book (coming next March) features an entire Grow-With-Me reference section. You can even pre-order it now. Lots more details are coming about this book over the next few months, I can’t wait.
